Supreme Gourt Upholds Hamilton Town Board in Refusing
ta Recognize New Schbol
District Organized by
School Inspectors.
Last spring the school inspectors of
Hamilton township organized a new
school district to be known as district
Ho. 5. The action was taken at the
Instance of residents of tour sections
whose children, some twenty in number, have a long distance to go to
school. The proceedings were in tne
regular ^ay as provided by law but
the Hamilton township board set aside
the action of the_ board ot -school inspectors. Recourse was then talc-
en to the courts. Finally a writ
was issued by the supreme
court. That tribunal sustained the
town board in its action, diagnosing
the question as fol'ows: "That district
was organized June 9, 1906, by the
school inspectors of Hamilton town
ship It was composed of four section1-!, two of which were taken from
District No. 2acd two from District
No. 3, of Hamilton township. It ap-
piars that the property of the new
district has an assessed valuation of
$14,610, and that" the effect of its pr-
ganlzatlon will be to reduce the property in school District Uo 2 from an
ass'ssed valuation of $29,760 to$24,020,
< and that of District No. 3 from $27,110
to$l&360. The organization was set
aside by the town board because as
John Quinn, Attorney for the defendant, states, "said district {2 and 3)
will be unable to maintain their
schools as they should be without imposing a greater burden up )n the residents than they are ab:e to bear and the
new district prodosed to be formed
will ba in the same condition, s j that
two good districts are* s-tcriflced for
the sakeof having three poor ones."
Geo. J. Cummins was attorney for
the proposed new district and John
Quinn for the township board. The
decision leaves the jdistricts as tbey
orginal'y were with many children a
longdistance to go to school but it
establishes the precedent that a new
school district canm.t tn organized except by consent of all concerned unless
there be sufficient taxable property,
bjth in the new district and the old
districts out of which the new one
is carved, so tbat the burden of supporting a scbool shall not be an unbearable one. *
BAD FIRE !H WISE.
John T,  Rose Loses Barn and
Quantity of Live Stcck.
At 10:30 p. m "Wednesflty flre was

SUEUi HAPPENINGS.
Institute a! Maple Grove.
The first of the one day farmers' institutes at Maple Grove, Surrey, Tuesday was most successful, Each session was well attended, about seventy-
five being present in the afternoon
Rep. L L Kelley opened the meeting
with pertinent remarks. The weed
problem presented by D W. Rofte
brought out ihe need of continuous
cultivation. E. M. Moore, the state
Bpeaker, dlscuss'ng soil fertility, advocated keeping as much live stock as
the farm would carry, having proper
rotation of crops and as much as possible of cloyer, beans aud other legumes. Following a sumptuous dinner sweetened by orchestra music he
discussed live stock emphasizing good
care with protection of the animals
from cold and storms and good feeding as well as careful breeding
H. T. Finch discussed farm machinery, a general discussion resulting.
Gom'rE. G.  Welch gave an inter
esting talk on education specially emphasizing the need of our young peo-
.pl& learning to do something useful
and to do it well.
J L Littlefield presented the pine
stump problem. It was the general
opinion to dynamite on heavy land
But on lighter soils to puU them with
the steelyard machine If desired for
wood to put them into a fence to dry
or leave them bottom up on tbe land
for a year and burn without piling.

Dr. Soper left town last week in a
manner widely m contrast to his

The Central Normal Bulletin lets
out the information that Principal
Grawn of the Normal recently bad
his pocket rifled of its contents by
professionals. He wasmlnusamileage
book, railroad ticket and considerable
money. Ann Arbor was the scene of
the robbery.
Mt. Pleasant high school was visited last week by an imspactor, representing the University of Michigan.
He had words of commendation for
the work but he put the city up
against the proposition good and proper of needing additional school accomodations, the commercial department being located in some rooms
down town. But a short time ago the
city voted down a building proposition
twice. They who voted "no" are
silently chewing over the words of*the
Univers't-y authority.
Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of
Agriculture, has appointed" W. E.
Preston of this city as public roads
Correspondent of the Department or
Agriculture for Isadella county. Tbe
investigation of our roads in this
county by the goverment has actively begun since the establishment or
our solid m-ill delivery, and it is not
unreasonable to suppose that the continuance of this great onvenienfie
to farmers will depend largely up in
the conditions in which roads are
kept.—Mt. Pleasant C racier.
In the buslncs-s relations every man
has the right to trade wherever he
pleases. But It la to be presumed we
all trade where in Uie long run we, as
we suppose, best get our money's
worth, Tnere has been much said pro
and con on the question ot patronizing mail order houses, especially raking the farmer over the coals. Investigation, however, revea's the fact,
that farmers are not alone in this.
Not afew of Clare .families, including merchants, are known to take a
chance every now and then to trade
in some distant city, going in* person
or sending by mail. But of course
their own particu'ar business should
be an exception to their own rule when
it comes to home patronage.

Mrs. Mary Kartell.
At her homeon Fifth street Monday
occured the de.ath of one of our early
settlers, Mrs. Mary MartelL She; had
long been ailing but death came unexpectedly from heart failure. The
funeral occured Wednesday from the
Congregational church, Rev. W. J,
Frost preaching the sermon.
Mary Grayson was born at Lamptqn
Oat.,^n 1846. She was married to W.
DeCou and at his death in 1875 came
to live with her sister at Mt. Pleasant. Thirty years ago she married a
second time and came to Olare, residing lfi the same house, one ofthe early
residences, ever since. One daughter,
Mrs. Lillian Pickard, who has resided
with her mother in her last years,
survives.
Those from out of town attending
the funeral were: her brother, I. W
Grayson and wife of Saginaw, Mrs
Lewis Knickerbocker of Saginaw, Mr.
and Mrs. T. Turnbull and daughter,
Anna, of Owosso and Mr. and Mrs, W.
Pickard and^rs, C. A. Kellog of Mt.

Swindling "Doctor" Run Down
Under theabjveheading theOsceola
Gowity Democrat of J.as6 week describes attempted fraud by a so-called
travelling doctor who . collected $40
from Ernest Franke, near Reed City,
for an Xray outfit. It developed,
however, that it was only an inexpensive battery and finally at the invitation of the deputy sheriff ohe ''doctor"
paid back the money and tojk his
battery.
A similar swindler operated nottb
of Clare recently, calling himself a
noted Germ m Specialisli, Dr. Lorenz
of Vienna, who, it was said, wa.3 to
establish a sanitarium at Harrison,
Iti is Jtoown that at least onefnan paid
$36 for a U 50 battery a'hd, the expected cure is not yet effected. "Dr,
Lorenz'* has disappeared. *
asminst the practice of building up
big cities at the expense of the home
community. This side ot the case
is admirably stated by "Uncle Jerry"
in tjhe Michigan Patron, a grange
paper of November 1 and the main
part of his argument is given herewith:
"Statistics prove that the average
farmer pays out fir the things he uses
and does not produce, a little over$600
a year. If he spends this with a mail
ordP.r' honse, he will make a net saving
of about ten per cent or about $60 per
year* Tbis, for a period of ten years,
would am'iuufc to$000. The value of
tbis man's farm, if ot averagefertility
depends entirely up Jn the surround ing
markets, schools, churches, roads, etc.
Suppose he is one or 500 farmers owning an average of 1G0 acre3 each, and
whose farms lie continuous»to a small'
town of 1,000 inhabitant*, with the
usual number and kind of store?,
schools, etc., and tbe usual market
facilities that are found in towns of
that kind, F^rms in such localities
would generally be worth about $30
an acre. Now, suppose tUcse500 farmers all epsnd their SG00 a year with the
merchants in this town. Give them
tne $60 a year tbey ml eh t save. This
would amount to $30,000 a year 3300,000
in ten years. This money would stay
in the town and year after year would
be invested in new enterprises, and at
the end of ten years, instead of a towi^
of 1,000 inhabitants, there would be a
lively little city ot two or three thousand, with more and better stores,
schools, churches and roads, with fa'c-
torieaand mills employing hundreds
of laboring people, ana an ever Increasing market for the farmers'produce, and his farm wou'd be worth
$40 an acre Instead of $30. For the
$600 squandered (?) In building up his
hqme town he would have received
$1,600 in the added value of bis farm
to siy nothing of increased advantages in other directions that it wofrld
be hard to estimate "in money. This
is not an exagerated picture. It is entirely within the bonds of tbe reasonable and probable But a thing is
good or bad only by comparison. We
have seen the benefits of every man
in a community giving all his trade
to hishome town. Let us contrast
this with the result of ail giving their
trade to mail Order houses.
"The money that should be deposited in the local banks by the merchants
goes to the po -toffi ia or ' the express
office, to buy monny orders to send to
the mall order houses."
"The b ink, getting few deposits and
more and more frequent calls for loans
to meet the maturing obligations of
merchants whose business Is gone and
whose stocks of goods are unsalable
bacause there is'none to buy them andv
seeing no prospect ef profitable business under such conditions, closes i
doors andleavesthe town. The smaller and less prosperous dealers in the
different lines of business soon follow,
and half the business rooms and many
residences in the town are empty.
The remaining merchanit, having
little to do, discharge their help, who
having ao employment, leave the town
Then these merchants, seeing no pro*
spect of business*, one by one close out
their stocks of goods at auction, of
pack thsm up and go elsewhere.
Properly in the. town depreciates in
value, everjbidy wants to 'sell and
there being no business, no one wants
to buy. As values decrease the tax
rate becomes correspondingly high',
and>stlll there is no fund's to adequately maintain public utilities, *A paid
flre department can, no longer be
maint lined. The water works system
becomes,inefficient,, or has to be
